DANIEL ROBERT EPSTEIN: Parched author Heather King

Heather King is an ex-alcoholic and her brother, Joe King, is in The Queers but shes also a converted catholic so Im just all confused about my like for her and her book Parched. Heather King is a prominent National Public Radio writer and commentator and Parched is the story of her 20 year slide into alcoholism and how her work and writing finally pulled her out.

Buy Parched

Daniel Robert Epstein: Obviously this book is very personal for you. What made you decide to put it all out there?

quibble about the intro: no one *i* know who has stopped drinking cosinders themselves "ex-alcoholics" -- the proper term is "recovering alcoholic."

might seem nit-picky of me to say this and i do not pretend to know this woman or her philosophy/ etc.

but the general gist is once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. and that you're never, really "cured."
